From a threat guidance/security perspective it’s not a laughing matter, no matter how humorous (or logical) we’d like to make it. The folks in the area are deserving of an explanation, and if classified, some form of declassified version that things are under control. Sorry, but 9/11 was real.
Can it be Google maps updating maps at night because less air traffic ? Here is my video from tonight. Big one leads secondary follows after each pass (full circle) they move a grid line outer.
While it might be the right of private companies to test their tech it doesn’t meant they should be irresponsible about it. This is tech tested in populated areas and waterways, in a way that creates a spectacle. Better drone regs needed, clearly, but GOP will refuse, per usual. Profit over safety.
Thank you. This is what I've been telling my neighbors, who are all freaking out about these drones. But people seem to love getting worked up over crap. Especially old people. Oy.
Thanks for the sanity! I’m in #NJ & this Fox “News” fodder-type hysteria by Senator Van Drew & others is just SAD!! Get a grip, folks. That said, now it’s such a thing, whoever’s responsible for the drones should either pipe up or go fly in isolated areas in another state. Stop scaring people.
No Aliens? 😢 🤣
Thank you! The News about that phenomenon have not reach us here till now - and its instantly debunked.Nice! Bluesky is faster than German press! 🥰
I think your second point is wrong about flying over military bases is wrong. My bro once had a private pilots license, and even right here in NJ. I was flying with him once and he purposely avoided that military base that's near here, whatever it was called, because he said he wasn't allowed there.
Come to NJ, sit on my deck and watch them. I’ll make you a nice dinner and light the fire pit for you. There are too many in too many locations for this to be a private “test run” that the FAA knows nothing about.
Adam, If it’s a company testing this many drones, why hasn’t the government asked them and gotten an answer yet? It was funny 2 weeks ago. Now, they are out there every night. I live under the flight path to Teterboro and Newark. I know what a plane looks like at night. THESE are something else.
Though they kind of suck at the secret part, by operating over metro areas in a spectacular fashion, at night. Why not test in a more rural zone. Time will tell, I guess, unless this is another murderous clowns in the woods/killer hornets thing that just weirdly disappears?
Small companies may have the right to but doesn’t that mean that the FAA would have knowledge of test flights and can just say we know who and what is flying instead of the mystery that keeps coming out of it?
Thanks for that. We all know that there’s far too many “eating of cats and dogs” critical thinkers out there and hopefully we can get Joe Rogan to repost your message and perhaps reach those tiny minds
I think what you posted to is a general rule. Otherwise some airports could not work. MSP has a Air National Guard base next to the airport. When at TUL one time I saw military jets using the same runways as passenger planes because the Air National Guard base is right there.
Over the last 12 years, I observed rise of personal drone usage among under-18s, increased use of drones by public agencies+military, & commercial applications -w/ over a million in use today — why wouldn’t we begin to notice them? https://www.phillybyair.com/blog/drone-stats/ #StemEdmatters #criticalmass
100% , No way they are foreign, I am
Pretty sure Alien technologies that would allow them to travel across space wouldn’t look and sound like a drone.
More Fear Mongering from the Right
No it’s aliens. One of the drones stopped at a Starbucks and ordered a triple shot mint cappuccino with deuterium-enriched soy milk. And then drank it.
This hypothetical company's drones should either broadcast Remote ID, or the FAA should have granted them an LOA to exempt them from it. That's so FBI isn't left in the dark asking the public for help, like in this case.
Agree with your assessment. And Van Drew is an idiot. It’s strange though that they thought people wouldn’t demand an explanation. If 10 drones hover over your neighborhood for an hour, you’re going to notice.
I'm in California. I spotted one a couple of weeks ago. Hovering over Travis AirForce Base. It had a green light and a red light. What caught my attention was that it hovered. Then it took off and passed overhead.
How far can a politician go in the Republican Party while debunking and not promoting conspiracy theories? Let's hope when the party regains its sanity, that the answer will be as high as talent and hard work will permit. Just as it used to be. Keep the faith, young man.
Omg…Adam, that’s far too logical. -lol
Thanks for being the adult in the room. I expect a pardon from Biden, it needs to happen. I appreciate you being one of the good guys.
A concern I have that I haven't heard from others is that the drones may be controlled by a domestic terrorist militia, or worse, by MAGA black ops under control of someone like Stephen Miller or Musk. Preparing for the inauguration and ominously signaling a draconian surveillance state?
It's happening in Pennsylvania too, including Chester County, which is in Southeastern, PA, outside of Philadelphia and about a 25 minute drive to Delaware.
Yes NY state too. I live in NJ & saw a huge drone at 3:00 AM a few nights ago. There was a weird sound that woke me up. It was flying low next door to me. I want to know who & why is doing this every night? It’s scary & annoying to say the least.
It's like corporations can do as they please, destroy the environment, not pay taxes, scare the sh*t out of people with new tech test flights, and buy the U.S. Government.
In my next life, I want to come back as a corporation!
Id much rather you tell us how we can get out of this nightmare where the entire media has capitulated and we dont have a prayer to live a normal free life in 30 days.
Drones cannot be permitted to fly over military bases, reservoirs, airports, first responder locations, critical infrastructure, and other sensitive sites. My husband is a pilot and a drone pilot. Those are no fly zones. Unless you have permission.
And it gets you a warning. You can't do it by accident. Why are they only at night. How could there be that many, that large, and no one knows where they are taking off from and landing? Why lie?
The issue seems to be that no one knows who owns and is piloting these drones, or why they're flying where they're flying. My guess is that the military is testing new tech, but I understand why people are concerned.
Since we just witnessed an asteroid move unexpectedly Apophis might actually make you rethink that… could you imagine voting for this guy to deal with both an epidemic and also a possible meteor. FML This is the worst timeline.
You CANNOT fly a drone over a restricted airspace or a military base. You can't even in a national park without permits. Maybe come out here to NJ first before acting the expert.
This is not an isolated incident, this same situation happened in north eastern Colorado a couple years ago. I don't think they ever found out who was behind it, but people in the area were freaking out. I suppose it didn't get the same media coverage because it was in a rural area.
Absolutely correct.
I saw something on 60 minutes some weeks ago talking about an experimental air taxi with six electric motors, and it had vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability.
So they're probably testing some sort of passenger flying vehicle. A company in California ( if I remember correctly) was awarded the rights to test flying cars. So this could be something similar.
Well said. People are so fast to say its aliens. With the amount of hysteria there has been around this particular subject for decades all grainy footage debunked by scientists and with having no proof whatsoever they still shout ahhh it's aliens.
Are people really freaking out over this? My neighborhood buts up to a military base in So. Cal.
I was on my way to market and saw a large drone overhead. It could be the military itself doing this. No freak out. But it was kinda cool to see. Also at the time and rn they are having war games. So...
Adam, when I was doing my cross country night flight, I had to radio in to the controlling authorities of restricted airspaces, including those over military installations. Furthermore drones are required by law to broadcast their ID registered with the FAA and the operator must be FAA licensed.
Mr Kinzinger, Thank you for all of your public service, as well as the work you continue to do. I appreciate you. Enjoy reading your posts here at Bluesky.
Yeah, Adam, you’re probably right. Some company testing a new drone. But you bring up a good point and concern regarding drones and how they have been Weaponized with advanced capabilities and technology. Putting a no fly zone with regards to drones makes incredible sense. Thoughts?
Person of the Year is a person, group, idea, or thing that "for better or for WORSE...has done the most to influence the events of the year." It's not that they like them.
Yup.
“TIME’s Person of the Year is not and never has been an honor. It is not an endorsement. It is not a popularity contest. At its best, it is a clear-eyed recognition of the world as it is and of the most powerful individuals and forces shaping that world—for better or for worse.” ~ 2017
I ran out of room to give them full credit, but you guessed right. So many people are needlessly upset about this year's choice. I think TIME needs to change the selection title to "Important Person of the Year, Even If S/he Is All Kinds of Fucked Up."
Of course, they are still mainstream media. But I am glad they asked the question about whether he'd be a failure if he didn't get grocery prices lowered. They forced him to start babbling about how HARD that would be. The cat is on the roof.... 🙂
I predict he will be doing a lot of babbling soon. He never said a word about what he would do to lower prices on food or housing when he was campaigning. His cult just chose to believe everything he said. His tariffs will just make things worse. And, if he is a Christian then I'm Santa Claus.
I think they like selling magazines more than anything. And controversy
sells. Pres Biden should be Time's Person Of The Year. But that won't sell magazines.
Trump rung the opening bell on Wall Street and praised hisTime Mag Cover He managed to get traders on the floor chanting USA USA
I hope that piece of shit falls ill before Jan 20
He is so disgusting I dont get what happening I don’t understand this enabling a madman who doesn’t hide his evil!!! yet people praise him like a saint
The more play you give him in conventional media the less of a watchdog you https://are.it looks like endorsement even if it's not, so it's what they're calling sane washing, talking about him,his agency cabinet pics as if it's all business as usual pick by pick rather than the overall horror show it is.
Every president since Clinton has been. You’re right though this is the important question and not how to protect ourselves from Patel and his FBI Gestapo and Pete and his military purged of everyone who doesn’t swear loyalty to Trump.
They've had Hitler and Stalin too. And his title said for good and ill, I agree, it's a joke. And Zuckerberg donating and Bezos as well. I deleted ig and plan the same for fb. Those will both become propaganda bs machines even worse than now.
Let’s keep perspective. Person of the year is more about notoriety and/or impact on society rather than being a good person. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was a runner up and Hitler, Kissinger, & Nixon were also Person of the Year.
He tried to steal 2020 election and incited a riot he hates American-and has managed to convince people that only he can save a country based in his lies and BS!! He took a play from the narcissist manipulation 101 book not even crafty just straight from the book and everyone just chants his lies
Practice to swarm the White House? How would security defend against a flock of a few dozen low flying drones? It would be limited to small arms, kind of like skeet shooting.
Drones primarily operate at frequencies between 900 MHz and 5.8 GHz. The government have EW countermeasures that can disable these frequencies at the flick of a switch. Worse is people in the vicinity might get headaches and nausea.
Since it’s Jersey… Probably the people in some “waste management” company embracing the new tech to look for a “misplaced coworker” they forgot to hide well….. or where they buried Hoffa.
I figured it was Russia or China. now I think it could be Minsk's new drones to be used to spy on American citizens. future "Citizen Patrol" to keep American people in line under these f*ckwads' fascist dictatorship. just a theory.
Disagree.
1st: Small aircraft isn’t equipped with multiple sensors & cameras that can be used for spying.
2nd: Aircraft have to file flight plans with the FCC, drones don’t, even car-sized ones.
It is suspicious & an unknown threat to our defense & security since we still don’t know who it is.
How do you know these "small aircraft" have senors & cameras for "spying?" The skies are filled with commercial drones with mapping and recording sensors for infrastructure planning, traffic studies, nature research, archaeology, etc., etc., etc

Patience over paranoia is good.
Drones concern me on a larger scale because of their current application on the ground (so to speak) in the war in Ukraine.
It WILL come here in some form, and we will be blindsided.
Kinda surprised it hasn't already.
Thanks for being the adult in the room. I expect a pardon from Biden, it needs to happen. I appreciate you being one of the good guys.

1. Lower grocery prices
2. End Ukraine war 1 call.
3. Make America great, again.

It could be a company like Wakefern Food Corp testing drones to deliver groceries.
Who knows.
Thank you

Get your facts straight Adam Kinzinger. People are not "allowed to fly drones over military installations."
The question you and people supposedly in charge need to address is: WHO is OPERATING Military Grade Drones OVER the MidAtlantic? Who flew drones over Ramstein?
